{Character Analysis} An Inspector Calls Auther Birling... Inspector Goole •She is described at the start as "about fifty, a rather cold woman and her husband's social superior."
•She is a snob, very aware of the differences between social classes. She is irritated when Mr Birling makes the social gaffe of praising the cook in front of Gerald and later is very dismissive of Eva, saying "Girls of that class."
•She has the least respect for the Inspector of all the characters. She tries - unsuccessfully - to intimidate him and force him to leave, then lies to him when she claims that she does not recognise the photograph that he shows her.
•She tries to deny things that she doesn't want to believe: Eric's drinking, Gerald's affair with Eva, and the fact that a working class girl would refuse money even if it was stolen, claiming "She was giving herself ridiculous airs."
•She admits she was "prejudiced" against the girl who applied to her committee for help and saw it as her "duty" to refuse to help her. Her narrow sense of morality dictates that the father of a child should be responsible for its welfare, regardless of circumstances.
•At the end of the play, she has had to come to terms that her son is a heavy drinker who got a girl pregnant and stole money to support her, her daughter will not marry a good social 'catch' and that her own reputation within the town will be sullied. Yet, like her husband, she refuses to believe that she did anything wrong and doesn't accept responsibility for her part in Eva's death. She is described at the start as "a pretty girl in her early twenties, very pleased with life and rather excited."
Although she has probably never in her life before considered the conditions of the workers, she shows her compassion immediately she hears of her father's treatment of Eva Smith: "But these girls aren't cheap labour - they're people." Already, she is starting to change.
She is horrified by her own part in Eva's story. She feels full of guilt for her jealous actions and blames herself as "really responsible."
She is very perceptive: she realises that Gerald knew Daisy Renton from his reaction, the moment the Inspector mentioned her name. At the end of Act II, she is the first to realise Eric's part in the story. Significantly, she is the first to wonder who the Inspector really is, saying to him, 'wonderingly', "I don't understand about you." She warns the others "he's giving us the rope - so that we'll hang ourselves" (Act II) and, near the end, is the first to consider whether the Inspector may not be real.
She is curious. She genuinely wants to know about Gerald's part in the story. It's interesting that she is not angry with him when she hears about the affair: she says that she respects his honesty. She is becoming more mature.
At the end of the play, Sheila is much wiser. She can now judge her parents and Gerald from a new perspective, but the greatest change has been in herself: her social conscience has been awakened and she is aware of her responsibilities. The Sheila who had a girl dismissed from her job for a trivial reason has vanished forever.
Sheila Birling... He is described at the start as "in his early twenties, not quite at ease, half shy, half assertive."
Eric seems embarrassed and awkward right from the start. The first mention of him in the script is "Eric suddenly guffaws," and then he is unable to explain his laughter, as if he is nervous about something. (It is not until the final act that we realise this must be because of his having stolen some money.) There is another awkward moment when Gerald, Birling and Eric are chatting about women's love of clothes before the Inspector arrives. Do you feel that there is tension in Eric's relationship with his father?
He is appalled by his parents' inability to admit their own responsibility. He tells them forcefully, "I'm ashamed of you." When Birling tries to threaten him in Act III, Eric is aggressive in return: "I don't give a damn now." Do you think Eric has ever stood up to his father in this way before?
At the end of the play, like Sheila, he is fully aware of his social responsibility. He is not interested in his parents' efforts to cover everything up: as far as he is concerned, the important thing is that a girl is dead. "We did her in all right."
Eric Birling... He is described on his entrance as creating "an impression of massiveness, solidity and purposefulness. He is a man in his fifties, dressed in a plain darkish suit. He speaks carefully, weightily, and has a disconcerting habit of looking hard at the person he addresses before actually speaking. "
He works very systematically; he likes to deal with "one person and one line of enquiry at a time." His method is to confront a suspect with a piece of information and then make them talk - or, as Sheila puts it, "he's giving us the rope - so that we'll hang ourselves."
He seems to know and understand an extraordinary amount:
He knows the history of Eva Smith and the Birlings' involvement in it, even though she died only hours ago. Sheila tells Gerald, "Of course he knows."
He is obviously in a great hurry towards the end of the play: he stresses "I haven't much time." Does he know that the real inspector is shortly going to arrive?
His final speech is like a sermon or a politician's. He leaves the family with the message "We are responsible for each other" and warns them of the "fire and blood and anguish" that will result if they do not pay attention to what he has taught them.
All this mystery suggests that the Inspector is not a 'real' person. So, what is he?
Is he a ghost? Goole reminds us of 'ghoul'.
•He is described at the start as a "heavy-looking, rather portentous man in his middle fifties but rather provincial in his speech."
•He has worked his way up in the world and is proud of his achievements. He boasts about having been Mayor and tries (and fails) to impress the Inspector with his local standing and his influential friends.
•However, he is aware of people who are his social superiors, which is why he shows off about the port to Gerald, "it's exactly the same port your father gets." He is proud that he is likely to be knighted, as that would move him even higher in social circles.
•He is optimistic for the future and confident that there will not be a war. As the audience knows there will be a war, we begin to doubt Mr Birling's judgement. (If he is wrong about the war, what else will he be wrong about?)
•He is extremely selfish:
He wants to protect himself and his family. He believes that socialist ideas that stress the importance of the community are "nonsense" and that "a man has to make his own way."
•At the end of the play, he knows he has lost the chance of his knighthood, his reputation in Brumley and the chance of Birling and Co. merging with their rivals. Yet he hasn't learnt the lesson of the play: he is unable to admit his responsibility for his part in Eva's death. Sybil Birling... He is described as "an attractive chap about thirty, rather too manly to be a dandy but very much the easy well-bred man-about-town."
He is an aristocrat - the son of Lord and Lady Croft. We realise that they are not over-impressed by Gerald's engagement to Sheila because they declined the invitation to the dinner.
He did have some genuine feeling for Daisy Renton, however: he is very moved when he hears of her death. He tells Inspector Goole that he arranged for her to live in his friend's flat "because I was sorry for her;" She became his mistress because "She was young and pretty and warm-hearted - and intensely grateful."
At the end of the play, he has not changed. He has not gained a new sense of social responsibility, which is why Sheila (who has) is unsure whether to take back the engagement ring.
Gerald Croft... Eva Smith... Of course, we never see Eva Smith on stage in the play: we only have the evidence that the Inspector and the Birlings give us.
The Inspector, Sheila Gerald and Eric all say that she was "pretty." Gerald describes her as "very pretty - soft brown hair and big dark eyes."
Her parents were dead.
She came from outside Brumley: Mr Birling speaks of her being "country-bred."
She was working class.
The Inspector says that she had kept a sort of diary, which helped him piece together the last two years of her life. However, in Act 3 we begin to wonder whether Eva ever really existed. Gerald says, "We've no proof it was the same photograph and therefore no proof it was the same girl." Birling adds, "There wasn't the slightest proof that this Daisy Renton really was Eva Smith." Yet the final phone call, announcing that a police inspector is shortly to arrive at the Birlings' house to investigate the suicide of a young girl, makes us realise that maybe Eva Smith did exist after all.
Think about Eva's name. Eva is similar to Eve, the first woman created by God in the Bible. Smith is the most common English surname. So, Eva Smith could represent every woman of her class222.

Carlos Colorado is the man behind the blog "Super Martyrio," which has recently become widely recognized as an important source of information and insight about Archbishop Oscar Romero and his cause for beatification. In this interview with Our Sunday Visitor, we learn more about Colorado, his blog and his very personal connections with the slain archbishop.
Our Sunday Visitor: Tell us about yourself and your blog.
Carlos Colorado: My blog, "Super Martyrio," is a special interest, niche blog whose focus is exclusively tracking Archbishop Oscar Romero's beatification cause. Appurtenant to that, I also analyze the merits of his case (his life, sermons, legacy, etc.). I am a Salvadoran-American attorney in Southern California, but I was born and raised in El Salvador. I go back from time to time, and I have made a number of Romero-related contacts that allow me to keep tabs on things. Mostly, however, I follow the story through research and investigation. I was a journalism major in college, and I guess I consider myself a freelance or hobby journalist.
OSV: Why such an interest in Archbishop Romero?
Colorado: I had the blessing and grace to meet Archbishop Romero when I was a boy growing up in El Salvador. His impact on me was significant — and I don't think I was the only one to have that reaction! He was my childhood hero. I wanted to become a priest when I was young, due to his inspiration. I had been recently relocated to the United States when he was killed, and the news was very traumatic. It became a minor mission in my life to unravel the story: why they killed him and what made him tick.
OSV: What does Archbishop Romero mean to the people of El Salvador today?
Colorado: Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia (the postulator of Archbishop Romero's sainthood cause) likens Romero to Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, who was the primate of Poland, meaning the figure head of his national church, and he was called "the primate of the millennium," because of the singular stature he achieved as the unquestionable leader of the Polish nation, despite his lack of a political title or government role. Salvadorans simply refer to Romero as a "prophet," meaning someone who, like Moses, fulfills a function that has principally religious connotations, but also implicit political overtones as the foremost voice and conscience of the nation. Romero was called the "voice of the voiceless"; in El Salvador, that was the vast majority of the populace! A recent [Salvadoran] newspaper editorial called Romero "a new Founding Father for a new country." Most Salvadorans see Romero this way, especially the poor. Not all Salvadorans share that view, of course.
OSV: You believe it likely that you went to confession to Archbishop Romero.
Colorado: I lived in San Salvador. I went to confession at the cathedral during Lent, when I was 9 years old. When my confessor spoke, I recognized the voice. I had listened to the broadcast of Romero's Masses every Sunday; he was my childhood hero, so it was an unmistakable voice. I believed I was talking to Archbishop Romero during my confession, and continued to believe it afterwards. But as time has passed, doubts crept in. Today, I embrace the uncertainty because it lends mysticism to the episode, and Romero was a mystical being.
OSV: How has Romero affected your understanding of yourself as a Christian, or of the Church?
Colorado: For me, Romero has always been a touchstone to verify the supernatural claims of the Church — an echo of Christ. I lived the darkness and anguish of the Salvadoran civil war in exile in the United States, and the Salvadoran refugee community received spiritual nourishment from the memory of Romero and of his martyrdom during those dark and painful years. He made religion relevant to our lives, not relegated to some storied past. I remember hearing the skepticism of a relative who pooh-poohed the relevance of holiness amidst the corruption of the contemporary world. "In our time, there are no saints; the age of the saints was in the distant past," she said. Well, as she said that, I internally knew it not to be true — because of Romero.

Barbara Bassi
Heartland Village
Two Kidney Transplants : 1984 and 2009
What was the illness that led to the transplant and for how long?
In 1977, Barbara became ill. She was fatigued, her legs swelled, and she was diagnosed as being in kidney failure. She only had 33% kidney function.
In 1979, when she was 39, Barbara was forced to stop working as a sales assistant because she had difficulty breathing and walking. She was given the option of kidney dialysis or a transplant: because both were relatively unknown, she chose dialysis. As a single mother of two children, she felt it was less of a risk than transplant.
She remained on dialysis for 5½ years.
Duration on waiting list
Barbara waited until both of her children were over the age of 18 before going onto the kidney transplant list. She was on the list for three months, before receiving her transplant. After two months, she had been called but another patient got the kidney because he was a better match. She says she wished him well.
Date of transplant
December 18, 1984. It was the first night of Chanukah. Barbara received a call at 3 a.m. and her son, Robert, drove her to the hospital. But first, in cold and foggy weather, he had to find a gas station: Barbara had not filled the car with sufficient gas.
Barbara remained in the hospital for seven weeks. The kidney did not work for the first 3½ months, and Barbara was placed back onto dialysis, even though medical tests could not find anything abnormal.
Barbara felt she needed to become independent of dialysis—she finally refused to be dialyzed, and she and her medical team were astounded to discover that her new kidney took over and began to work perfectly.
Which transplant center?
The Mount Sinai Medical Center in Manhattan, where Barbara had been on dialysis since 1979.
Barbara is currently 68. At the time of the transplant, Barbara, still a single parent, was 44. Her son, Robert, was 20; her daughter,Jodi, was 18.
Where does she live?
Barbara has lived on Staten Island since 1970.
Type of work and where
Following her transplant, Barbara was able to work again. She started her own business, selling promotional and advertising specialties.
What is known about the deceased donor?
Barbara never learned anything about her donor. She believes he may have been a male who was approximately the same age as she was at the time.
Additional Notes
Barbara's son, Robert (43), lives in New Jersey, is married and has two children – two boys ages 13 and 11, and a daughter age 6½.
Barbara's daughter, Jodi (41), lives in Manhattan, is married, and has two children – two boys ages 10 and 6½.
Over the years, Barbara has assisted the New York Organ Donor Network's public education efforts by speaking as a transplant recipient at several hospitals about the need for more organ donors. The New York Organ Donor Network will mark its 30th anniversary in 2008.
She has also been a member of Transplant Recipients International Organization (TRIO) of Manhattan since 1993.
My transplant lasted 24 1/2 years but three years prior to that my kidney started slowly losing function. It took about three years and I was then told I would need another kidney. Therefore, that meant I would have to go back on the waiting list for another organ and possibly go on dialysis. As my function decreased it was now time to go back on the list. I did much research and decided to multiple list at 3 transplant centers.
I believe that I got lucky because I was on the waiting list for 11 months when I received a call from one of the centers that they had a kidney for me. I was so excited and at the same time very scared. I asked many questions about the donor and accepted the kidney. I was transplanted on July 22, 2009. I am doing
extremely well and back to work.
While waiting I was getting very fatigued, lost a lot of weight, and could not function as a normal human being. Afternoon naps were a must. Now again, I was reborn. Because of my age it took about 8 months
to finally bounce back to the way I was.
So everyone be An Organ Donor. Organ Donation Saves Lives.....It saved mine Two Times

Cake Baker
This week, the Global Design Project challenge has a theme challenge. The idea is to create a card design that features a certain design combination in a card project. To view the projects for this challenge, please visit the Global Design Project page by clicking here. I am creating a card today featuring a new product called Birthday Delivery that coordinates with Birthday Memories DSP and Birthday Friends dies. These products are available in the upcoming Annual catalog.
Birthday Delivery cake baker
Cake baker was not the first idea I had when first looking at this Suite of products. It's funny how we as crafters can see things different with new eyes on a different day. Inspiration for this project came from the icing-scripted style sentiment and piping gun of the baker icon. Having the writing and cake baker, I needed to not have him work his magic on an empty space so I set forth to create a cake.
Chocolate Cake from die cuts
The chocolate cake image is created using three colors of card stock and one set of Square Layering Dies. The die set has both scallop and straight edge design to choose from so I chose a scallop to resemble icing in white. Next would be a chocolate layer topped off with a lighter brown for a more milk chocolaty look. The cake baker is lined up with the tip of his piping gun at the point of an icing design as well. If you notice a shadow outline on the cake baker, that would be a plain die cut with no stamping, adhered as offset to give his image definition. No wonder I've been hungry for chocolate today!
Measurements for cake baker project are:
Crumb Cake card stock tag base: 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ + a scrap for die cuts
Whisper White card stock layer: 4 3/4″ x 5″ + a scrap for die cut
Birthday Memories DSP panel: 3 5/8″ x 4 7/8″ + a scrap for sentiment and punch
Early Espresso card stock scrap for die cuts
Here is a list of supplies I used to make this card project. Links are here that you can click to get product info and purchase items, at no additional cost to you, as well. Thank you for your support with your purchase 🙂
Birthday Delivery + Birthday Memories products
The Birthday Memories Suite of products are available for purchase on June 1st to the public or choose them in your starter kit NOW. Click here to choose items for your Starter Kit.

This has happened before (and of course it will happen in the future!) I just need to be mindful of the fact that I have a whole host of health issues that I need to manage each day. Sometimes it sucks. But of course, there are always things to find in amongst the challenges. I choose to find happiness in those Simple Things!!
Five things that have made me happy this week:
#1 Little Lady was awarded her Rookie Lifeguard trophy after completing her bronze, silver and finally gold levels.
This is a big achievement - CPR, swimming in clothes, swimming with a dummy, rescuing people from drowning etc. It started as something different to do because she loved swimming and had completed all the learning stages. She's delighted with her trophy and did show and tell at school with it this week. I'm a very proud mummy.
For the last couple years we've had minimal crops but the blossom looks promising for this year. In the meantime, the flowers are beautiful. As is the gorgeous blue sky in contrast against it. It has been a gorgeous week of blue skies here which is good for the soul.
#3 Slowly growing piles of crochet Target Squares.
#4 Enjoying beautiful colours and flavours in a pretty bowl.
So appreciative of reading The Immune System Recovery Plan - and feeling the benefit of my new regime. It's by no means a cure but the Hydroxychloraquine and elimination diet have seen my symptoms reduce from 9.5/10 to 7/10. When I've been in flare to that degree for around 6 months even this reduction is life changing. Still a challenge but there is hope - and for that I am ridiculously grateful.
#5 Forever grateful for my Family
The understanding of my children and Husband of my physical limitations and impacts of chronic pain.
I have grieved for the life I should have led. For a family who is physically active my physical ability could be an issue and I won't lie - for me it always will be. But I am so grateful for my Hubby doing those things with the Kiddie's. For cycling, running, climbing, trampolining, hiking... and so much more. Regardless of the weather. Striving to do what is good and not taking the easy option. I know I do other things with them and together we provide a good balance. But we are a tight unit - perhaps even more so due to the health challenges we've been through. It takes strength to fight on... and together we muster just about enough.
Hope you have had some happy moments this week. Take care until next time,

Bless this young man's heart.
Melissa Vang's husband dropped his wallet (with $1500 in cash and all his credit cards) at the end of their driveway. A young man walking by, picked up the wallet and instead of keeping the small fortune for himself, he decided to do the right thing and return the wallet.
The young man knocked on the door and rang the doorbell but Melissa was didn't know the man, so she didn't answer. The man decided to hold the wallet up to the home's security camera to let them know he was returning the wallet, fully intact.
After Melissa and her husband watched the video, they located the young man, thanked him and rewarded him with $150 for being honest and kind.
Knowing now that the young man was simply trying to do a good deed, Melissa feels bad for not opening her door, but she simply didn't trust him.

Subject Headings
I like Nikki Turner, but someone was asleep at the helm. This book went from bad to worse, all the grammatical errors and very poor story line. I gave up!
A competent proofreader never saw this book. There were so many errors they were embarrassing, especially for a NYT "best-selling author"; suite vs suit, collage vs. colleague, bust vs best, and on and on. I only made it through chapter 4. There errors were a distraction and it was slow. My time to read is at a premium so I moved on.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (KGO) --Crews are working to clean up a massive tree brought down by Sunday night's howling winds.
It crashed down onto a driveway in the Fair Oaks area of Redwood City.
The big tree presented a big problem to the residents trying to leave on Monday morning.
"It's pretty frustrating. We had to jump the fence to get out of there," explained Sandra Ceballes.
The next door neighbor's tree crashed down onto her yard Sunday afternoon, brought down by the wind.
Imagine if THIS was in your front yard. Clean-up underway in Redwood City right now. Result of yesterday's winds... pic.twitter.com/9sIhbQC6I0— Amy Hollyfield (@amyhollyfield) February 1, 2016
One resident of the home is in a wheelchair and at first the family had no idea how to get him into the home without a path. So relatives looked for a hotel room for Sunday night.
"They were all booked for the Super Bowl, so there was nowhere else to go," Ceballes said.
They eventually figured out a way to get him through the mess.
"Somehow we got him to go under the tree through our driveway and get in the back of our house," she explained.
Winds reached up to over 70 miles per hour around the Bay Area on Sunday.
Neighbors helped the family to at least clear the sidewalk.

Kim Kardashian & Kanye West Reveal If They've Chosen a Name for Their Son!
Kim Kardashian is in the eighth month of her pregnancy and she and her husband Kanye West have just revealed if they have picked out a baby name for the son!
"I don't have names, which is so crazy," the 35-year-old pregnant reality star told E! News. "We just started talking about it and that was the last thing for us last time. So I feel confident obviously that we'll figure it out."
There was a rumor over the summer that Kim and Kanye were going to name their son Easton to continue with the directional themed name they gave their daughter North West.
Kim is supposedly due on Christmas Day!
See some recent photos of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West below…

Armed with M-4 automatic rifles, swathed in body armor and combat fatigues, the five man U.S. Special Forces Airborne entry team stacks up outside the entrance to the house.An explosion sends bits of the door flying inside. The men slide through the still-smoking opening, fanning to the right and left, guns up, safeties off, fingers on triggers. The live rounds start flying almost immediately. Bullets tear through the men standing inside the house, knocking them to the ground. One round hits a terrorist in the head, a bright red plume of blood splatters against the wall.
Special Forces don't usually play games, but for their Fort Bragg training they sometimes make an exception to that rule.
The Laser Shot Virtual Shoot House gives these specialized warriors a chance to blow in doors, fire live ammo and take out life-sized enemies, all in a real environment helped along by quite a bit of video game technology.
The soldiers are deadly serious about their training. The weapons and ammo they use very real. But their opponents are life-sized video game avatars, the blood virtual, the threat they pose imagined. And the walls these digital enemies stand in front of are actually high-tech video screens that can project images and automatically seal up after a round passes through them.
Based in Houston, Texas, Laser Shot has been around for about 10 years now, slowly designing more intricate, more realistic, more useful "firearms training solutions" for the military and police. But what's that mean?
It means they design, develop and deliver virtual kill houses: Entire bulletproof homes created to look like bases of operation for Al-Qaeda, gang bangers, hostage takers, bad guys. Inside these homes are rooms plated floor to ceiling in ballistic tiles and covered in special self-sealing screens. Above each screen is mounted a high-resolution projector designed to throw a moving image on a wall from a very short distance without creating shadows. The whole thing is tied into an intricate network of computers that serves as the brains for the many bad guys found in the kill house. These enemies, like real world ones, are programmed to think, to see, to react.
Military using "video games" to train? More likely then you'd think. At least its safe, and hell, who doesn't think laser tag is fun?

Comments on this Resource
Wow, the discussion of self-centered "worship" music is even more relevant now! Every song my church does is just singing about ourselves, and many of them don't even mention God or Jesus at all. If only the worship leaders coming out of seminaries across the country were required to hear lessons like this!

Question about Computers & Internet
I've been working on this problem for over a year so lets see how good you guys are,. I loaded windows 2000 pro into my laptop and since then the battery charger doesn't work the speakers don't work and the mic does't work. In addition most pictures like the ones of all the experts are distorted. Some of the icons like mozilla firefox is distorted on the desktop but the rest of the icons are clear. I've been on every fix it center known to man and downloaded every new fix it program I can find. In addition the aux cd player will not play cd's it will however allow program downloads. Also the jog wheel doesn't work either. Does anyone have any ideas. Thanks, Jeff
Posted by JeffImac on
I'm not sure about checking the normality of the BIOS, one big problem is the laptop was a gift and I don't have any of the supporting software, ie start up or recovery disks.
Nothing happens when I press the F2 key
Yes it runs in BIOS and the letters seem normal. The version is RO 21101 / RK211D1 if that helps
In my continued search I did discover in the device manager the following under other devices were not active. ie the yellow question mark.
Multimedia audio controller
PCI sim;ple communication controller
Unknown device
USB memory stick slot
Video controller (VGA Compatible)
I tried going on line for the audio controller driver but it said it couldn't find it.
Are their sights to download the correct drivers for 2000 pro
Thanks again for your help
Sounds like 3.3V line is not up to par so to say.. Integrated VRAM for the Graphics on this model? Everything is tied into eveything and if you are getting distorted Icons/graphics I'd look here first but some digi-snaps of the screen would also help. Sonys are a pain generally and I'm not well versed on this model. Any other info on the web besides Update this/that? Does BIOS apear normal?
Talk soon..
Posted on Feb 06, 2008
Distorted graphics are generally not a software issue anyway so rule that out.. If you hit F2 will it stay running in BIOS and does the lettering appear normal?
Need to Hit F2 before it boots and when you see the Sony splash screen..
Try windows update as it will generally find drivers not listed if available. No Video driver is alot of the issue..

Principle of Calorimetry:
When two bodies of different temperatures are brought in thermal contact then reception and donation of heat take place. The body at higher temperature leaves heat whereas the body at lower temperature receives heat. This give and take will continue until they reach at the thermal equilibrium.
If no heat is lost during donation and reception of heat, then the amount of heat given up by the body at higher temperature will be equal to the heat gained by the body at lower temperature.
So, Heat lost = Heat gained
It is called the principle of Calorimetry.
Key points of Calorimetry:
- Calorimetry is the science of measuring the heat of chemical reactions or physical changes. It involves measurements made with calorimeters.
- The heat of the reaction is the negative of the amount of heat gained by the calorimeter. The calorimeter may be made of more than one component, such as a bomb and a water bath.
- The amount of heat gained by the calorimeter is also a product of the heat capacity of the calorimeter and the change in temperature of the sample undergoing a chemical or physical change.

CHAPPAQUA, N.Y. -- A Euro-style café and music venue that opened in Chappaqua's historic railroad station last fall is right on track -- both with its food and its ambience, says The New York Times.
In a circa-1900 fieldstone building, Chappaqua Station makes good use of its both of its charming oak-lined dining room and its location.
In the mornings, commuters can grab coffee and a bagel as they run for their trains. In the afternoons, the laptop crowd can settle in with sandwiches and salads. Later on, folks can enjoy live jazz with their vino and filet mignon.
The New York Times' reviewer, M.H. Reed, was not only wowed by the station's makeover, but also by the freshness of the produce used by the café.
Of special mention were its tasting plate of cheeses with grapes, nuts and jam; grilled Scottish salmon; housemade desserts, and the "Chappy" salad, a colorful concoction of chickpeas, sunflower seeds, roasted peppers, feta and beets that Reed called a "circus on a plate."
Though a tad on the more plebeian side, their juicy hot dogs rated a big thumbs up from the Times, too.
Overall, The New York Times gave the café a rating of "Very Good," only one notch below "Excellent."
To read The New York Times review, click here.
The cafe is at 1 Station Plaza, Chappaqua. It can be reached by calling (914) 861-8001.

Interchangeability of AC power adapters for digital cameras.
I have two different brands of digital cameras (Minolta & Hewlett-Packard). The HP came with an AC power adapter. Both cameras take a six-volt adapter. The accompanying literature warns about not using an other manufactures unit & states that it will void the warranty (which is moot as the camera is more than a year old & out of warranty). Is it safe to use the HP adapter on the Minolta, or is this just a statement to increase revenue to the company and too make sure that an inferior product is not used? Thank you in advance for input.

That's probably a standard warning. Although the voltage is the same, is the amperage the same. Strange things can happen if you aren't able to supply enough current.
I have a different sort of problem. I have an Olympus 3020 which uses a 6.5 V adapter. Not a big problem as I have a universal adapter that can be set for 6 or 7 VDC. A half a volt isn't that big of a deal. The problem is that none of the tips that came with the adapter fit the camera properly.

Yes, I've found they can use some pretty odd sizes, also they can use long versions of the plug. Make sure you check the polarity on the centre pin as well. For most digicams, 2 amps is a safe bet and you might just get away with 1.5 Amps.
The only thing you might possibly get special in a manufacturers digicam power unit, is a zener diode and fuse on the output power line - to protect the camera if the power supply fails and goes high voltage. VOX

July 7, 2010 – Oracle announced Oracle Business Intelligence 11g, including its new Common Enterprise Information Model, which allows system administrators to manage and monitor BI performance from the same environment used to manage their entire IT stack.
Over the last year, something has changed for Oracle moving them toward the front of the pack among BI market leaders, says Boris Evelson, principal analyst for Forrester Research. And, this release is a "game changer."
While the company had a tougher time integrating overlapping BI technologies from Siebel and Hyperion acquisitions – compared to SAP with BusinessObjects or IBM with Cognos – release 11g closes the gap between Oracle and its competitors, says Evelson.
According to Evelson, the platform, which is mostly enhanced Siebel analytics, does two things for Oracle: it introduces interactive features that level the playing field, and its new Common Enterprise Information Model sets it apart from all other leading platforms.
Oracle's release as more than just a simple upgrade, says Evelson. "Nobody else has anything as seamless and elegant and tightly integrated as Oracle."
The Common Enterprise Information Model allows users to access data directly from all Oracle applications – not just BI, says Evelson. "Users can access data directly from CRM, risk, ERP, HR, finance applications – all of them – without having to build a separate data warehouse or data mart. With this model, if you take the time to build it, your BI application instantly knows how data is structured and can report accordingly."
Release 11g's upgraded interactivity for BI includes rich Internet applications, text to query, mobile BI and analytic performance management. The new reports work in real time and are highly interactive.
Lastly, The Action Framework feature closes the loop between insight and action, according to the company release, by enabling users to initiate an action, such as a business process or Web service, directly from their dashboard.

Avon Review — Is it a scam?
Avon is a cosmetic MLM company that has been around for many years and sells many different products.
Its original founding was in 1886 in New York, but the popularity of the products they sell reached a landmark year in 2013 with sales at over $10 billion.
The popularity of the brand is not just about the name, but the products themselves. Avon works to offer the best products possible all while making accessibility easy with representatives throughout the world. Avon parties are a staple in America and everyone seems to know someone who actively sells the products.
Products from Avon are well-known throughout the world and year after year patrons clamor to get their hands on the latest products available from the company. Their only real competitor in the niche is Mary Kay.
They do have an extensive line of products available with prices ranging from just a few dollars all the way up to the thousands. Each one is backed by the reputation of excellence that Avon is famous for. Their catalogs as well as their website show off the products from old favorites to new offerings.
Here are just a few of Avon's most popular products.
Wrinkles do come with age and no matter what you do, you never seem to find a way to turn back the hands of time for the youthful exuberance your skin once maintained. There are MLMs that just do wrinkle creams. One of the best is Nerium, if you're interested.
The solution to any wrinkle related issue is proper hydration of the skin Anew Ultimate Night Cream is one of Avon's most successful products. The highly concentrated cream is used at night to absorb into the skin for a smooth and luxurious complexion. Users notice a firmer and more youthful appearance with regular use of this product.
An excellent lip stick is difficult to find in the standard stores, but Avon makes it easy with their unbelievably long-lasting lip paint.
Mark is the lip paint for you if your life is hectic. Instead of constantly reapplying lipstick all day, the Lip Paint enables you to paint your lips once and seemingly forget about them for hours. The luxurious and time saving formula comes in a range of colors that work excellent with any complexion.
Cleansing at the end of the day is one of the best things anyone can do for their skin, but the traditional cleansing options do not seem to reach deep enough into the skin to fully clean the surface.
The Anew Clean Cleansing brush is considerably different than standard cleansing options as this brush rotates as it cleans to gently extract any underlying makeup or buildup from the skin. The clean felt after using this brush is unlike anything else on the market today.
Aging is one thing that we all have to contend with, but a way to reduce the effects of aging is now here. It comes in the form of Anew Power Serum.
This specialized serum is one of the most popular items within the Avon lineup because it firms skin at the molecular level for a truly youthful appearance.
Nobel-Prize-winning research has gone into the development of this product and the proof is in the popularity of the product and unlike other specialized products on the market today, Anew Power Serum is perfectly suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin.
Once adults reach a certain age, they believe that their acne issues from adolescence are over. However, more adults are suffering from acne than ever before, but Avon has the solution to help.
The Clearskin Professional Acne Treatment System is an advanced system that is perfect for all skin types and helps to eliminate the pollutants from the skin that cause acne. This proven system will restore the skin to its former youthful appearance and bring an end to your acne woes for good.
Compensation Plan
The Avon compensation plan is a bit difficult to find, but the basic plan calls for the Avon consultant to receive 30% of each $150 sale.
If the seller sales $1600 worth, the commission is 50%, so the more you sell, the more you can earn as with most MLM companies. The market for Avon seems to be the demographic of women ages 30 to 40, but more and more younger women are becoming attracted to the brand as well.
The main income is going to come from monthly sales in which the customer signs up for a subscription of their selected products.
The other way that the sales representative is to make money is with a team building exercise in which the seller builds her team that sells for her.
It is a great way to make money, but anyone who has sold Avon will tell you, it calls for a lot of individual sales and footwork to get your individual sales to the point where they can support you entirely. The compensation plan seems to be more focused on recruiting rather than sales as the new recruits have to purchase products and therefore Avon makes money.
Avon is one of the oldest MLM companies on the books and are still growing quite strong.
This company may not be the right fit for anyone looking to make it their sole means of income as it takes a lot of money and effort to build a team and make the needed funds, but it is a good idea for anyone seeking a part-time gig for some extra money.
The compensation plan leaves a lot to be desired as it is rather confusing and difficult to find on the company's website. As with all MLM companies, do your research before diving into the company.

Project Milqartu Update
A few years ago I was creating some concept art and 2d assets for a project called Grecca Online, unfortunately due to some inconveniences the progress on the game was halted.
By some miracle however, I was recontacted by the two developers and we set an agreement in place to recreate the project but taking it towards and different perspective.
Here is an overview map I`ve created of all the zones combined, there are more to be added which I`m currently working on.
It was drawn by hand at first, I scanned it afterwards.
A Long-awaited Return
I'm honestly simply out of words to justify such a long absence, I could simply say that life got in the way, school got in the way, reality got in the way, and perhaps procrastination as well. Horrible events took place in the world, the Gaza genocide, police brutality was rampant and lethal, and hip hop transitioning into 3 to 4 min commercials starring your favorite actors.
Anyways Here's A little Collection of Sketches/Work/Commisions I've done throughout the year;
This will eventually be painted on canvas.
A Personal Tattoo Design.
Another potential painting for sure as well.
A life drawing pose sketch 20 mins.
Another personal random tattoo Design.
Oh yes and I did some more tattooing, I still have a lot to learn however.
And here's another tattoo commission done for a friend.
Due to missing work this morning, I figured I'd be productive by spending some time in Photoshop CS6 which I haven't touched in months. I used to be a graphic designer for a few companies but mostly used Illustrator for its awesome preciseness, I was afraid I had maybe lost my touch in Photoshop. For awhile I had this idea to make a satirical version of the "OBEY" brand logo into something I felt was more appropriate in terms of a revolutionary theme.
Personally I wouldn't wear want to wear the word "Obey" in a society where most of our actions subtly revolve around the obeying of our governments even if in some cases (most cases) they're corrupt, obeying the law even if sometimes it may be absurd and unjust, and obeying corporation due to their contributions in funding our governments and power gained from consumerism and capitalism. Its as if that brand name is there to subconsciously enforce those ideologies, but don't get me wrong they make awesome clothing denouncing the things I've mentioned above but still to this day I still question myself as to why the brand is called Obey.
What I would suggest is for you to:
Cheers folks
Lion Brother
So I made this awesome tattoo design for my brother. Normally I'm not really enthusiastic when it comes to working within the tribal style, I've always thought that most (not all) tribal tattoos we're a little too blend and lacking in creativity (its just a personal opinion). But thankfully he wanted a lion with its mane rolling down his biceps, here's the end result;
I've been heavily procrastinating on my lady liberty painting due to starting a new job but I'll hopefully have some updates on it soon.
Cheers folks
Painting Wake up calls
As I hibernate I wanted to show you guys what I have been working on. Here's the current ongoing progress of my next painting, its another big canvas as usual resulting in a longer sketching period. I spent quite a lot more time coming up with the concept of this painting then actually creating it. There are quite a few mistakes at the moment but none that a nice coat of paint cant hide, but the painting process itself is gonna be quite challenging though. I'll be posting further progress of this project in a few days hopefully.

Harry Potter producer David Heyman and Studio Canal are teaming up again to adapt Francis Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden. The beloved children's classic tells the story of orphan Mary Lennox, a troubled and sickly ten year-old who is sent to live with her uncle after her parents die in a cholera outbreak in India. Surprisingly, The Secret Garden has only had three big-screen adaptations since its publication in book form in 1911, one in 1919, 1949 and the last one in 1993. It has had various television adaptations including animated and anime productions, and stage adaptations.
Heyman and Studio Canal made absolute magic with their adaptation of Paddington in 2014, and are also currently working on the sequel. Triple BAFTA nominee Jack Thorne is tapped to write the script, fresh off the smash success of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Jack's work includes The Last Panthers, This Is England '90 and Don't Take My Baby. Jack is also writing the adaptation of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials for Bad Wolf, so we expect to be hearing a lot about him over the coming months.

This is the story of the 90th hunger games, with Shinita Kuchiki's journal.
Day 1.Edit
I went into the reaping. I was reaped. Then had My interview. Then i had had my parade ( my costume was very usual, what i wear, at least on on work days.) Then i went up the i the hovercraft. Then to my launch room. My stylist was normal, female, blonde hair, then after, i was sent up the tube. Then when i went up, I was super surprised. A Desert?! this was canceled that! how! My heart was pounding very fast. And it was Volcanic? the cornucopia surrounded by lava! short space to get in, this is very hard. And we start as we run to the cornucopia. I got a crossbow (yes) and some food, a dagger, and these Weird silver balls? anyway, i went into a shack, on a hill. Then I Noticed something. East half of the arena, on a mountian, a forest, with sky-scraping trees. So i thought to my self, I have to get out of here.But i sniped some people first ( not to metion that it has a scope.) but then a tribute came behind, and try to stab me. I almost died, but luck. I moved side ways and he fell out the shack window ( Very high) and I don't think he survived. Then i got out. up the mountian, i used sharp rocks. Then after, I took shelter on a tree branch, with some wooden boards. There were a few tributes fighting down at the floor. ( the real battle was down at the desert.) A Hovercrafts passed by, distracting tributes. Then I performed a "ricochet" By bouncing the arrows off the trees, and some shacks, At least taking out 3 tributes. Sun was setting, This was my shelter, and I fell asleep.
end of day 1.
Day 2Edit
I woke up to a sound of a hovercraft. a sound of a and saw couple of tributes beneth my tree. I sniped 3 of them. Then I jumped down, left trails of rocks to remember where I came. Then saw some dead, pale tributes lying on the ground, ( all froze to death.) and then some tribute that were alive were down there. Some were normal, some had there last 3 seconds of there lives. Then I shot some of them, as someone stabbed me from the back, I lived, but I coulnd'nt move. it was turning nightime. Was i gonna freeze to death? Soon it became really cold, then i fainted.......
end of day 2.
Day 3Edit
I woke up, as I saw everything blurry. I survived? wow, I thought i'd die. then I crawled to a wooden shack. A dead tribute was in there. I took his bag. He had bread, dagger, and a Electric wire. I found at the corner a Steel crate that says "Medicine". I healed my self, then stood up. I returned to my tree, then Sniped people. I Fell asleep.
Until day 5 , everything was not really importent, That's when my food ran out.
Day 5Edit
I woke up and ate my last bread. I decided to climb on top of my tree. I saw 10 or 11 tributes down there. They were only in the forest. No one was down in the desert. I sniped a tribute, as the one from the side notice me. He had a bow and arrow, and he started shooting, I ran tree to tree until he ran out of arrow. Then I shot him. Anyway, i have not seen any Hovercrafts or muttations in the last 5 days.. Then came these weird looking air crafts with these things spinning on top of them. ( helicopters) These things were beside hovercrafts. They shot fireballs at me, which all missed. Then at threw one of those silver balls, which stuck to one of them, Then glowed blew, then exploded , which the fisrt aircraft crashed into the other. Then more came, which started to drop off wolf muttations. I was on a tree, It did not see me. Then I shot them all. Then 2 more of those aircrafts came, and opened a hatch, which started to release Tracker Jackers. I jumped down, ( high, but lived.) then entered a Steel shack. Inside were crates that said "exlposives". Then I threw it up, which the Aircrafts shot it, which exloploded and blew up 2 of the Aircrafts and set 1 one fire, which spun in circles, then crashed into a hovercraft. Then I walked back, and fell into a hole, and was in a mineshaft. I found a Crate that said " Supplies." Then When I opened it, There was food Inside, which would last A long time. Well, I can hide here for the remaining days.
Day 6Edit
I took 2 days of rest, now time to return to battle. When I went outside, There were only 1 Tribute was seen. She was a archer, with blonde hair. I charged her, but then she shot me with here bow and arrow. Then I shot her back. She had her leg injured. So I went to end her misierie, but she hit me with a dagger. We were both lying there, just waiting to get back up. Which she did first. I thought, this is the end, but I remebered the silver balls I had. Then I threw it at her stomach, which then she Exploded. Wow, now all I have to do is wait for 4 more days.
After, I was living at the Victer's village, with my family. It was good, because I got to spend time with family. Well, this is my story.

Clojure code is composed of literal representations of its own data structures and atomic values; this characteristic is formally called homoiconicity, or more casually, code-as-data.[6] This is a significant simplification compared to most other languages, which also happens to enable metaprogramming facilities to a much greater degree than languages that are not homoiconic. To understand why, we'll need to talk some about languages in general and how their code relates to their internal representations.
Recall that a REPL's first stage is to read code provided to it by you. Every language has to provide a way to transform that textual representation of code into something that can be compiled and/or evaluated. Most languages do this by parsing that text into an abstract syntax tree (AST). This sounds more complicated than it is: an AST is simply a data structure that represents formally what is manifested concretely in text. For example, Figure 1-1 shows some examples of textual language and possible transformations to their corresponding syntax trees.[7]
These transformations from a textual manifestation of language to an AST are at the heart of how languages are defined, how expressive they are, and how well-suited they are to the purpose of relating to the world within which they are designed to be used. Much of the appeal of domain-specific languages springs from exactly this point: if you have a language that is purpose-built for a given field of use, those that have expertise in that field will find it far easier to define and express what they wish in that language compared to a general-purpose language.
The downside of this approach is that most languages do not provide any way to control their ASTs; the correspondence between their textual syntax and their ASTs is defined solely by the language implementers. This prompts clever programmers to conjure up clever workarounds in order to maximize the expressivity and utility of the textual syntax that they have to work with:
Code generation
Textual macros and preprocessors (used to legendary effect by C and C++ programmers for decades now)
Compiler plug-ins (as in Scala, Project Lombok for Java, Groovy's AST transformations, and Template Haskell)
That's a lot of incidental complexity—complexity introduced solely because language designers often view textual syntax as primary, leaving formal models of it to be implementation-specific (when they're exposed at all).
Clojure (like all Lisps) takes a different path: rather than
defining a syntax that will be transformed into an AST, Clojure programs
are written using Clojure data structures that represent that AST
directly. Consider the
example from Figure 1-1, and see how a Clojure
transliteration of the example is an AST for it
(recalling the call semantics of function position in Clojure
The fact that Clojure programs are represented as data means that Clojure programs can be used to write and transform other Clojure programs, trivially so. This is the basis for macros—Clojure's metaprogramming facility—a far different beast than the gloriously painful hack that are C-style macros and other textual preprocessors, and the ultimate escape hatch when expressivity or domain-specific notation is paramount. We explore Clojure macros in Chapter 5.
In practical terms, the direct correspondence between code and data
means that the Clojure code you write in the REPL or in a text source file
isn't text at all: you are programming using Clojure data structure
literals. Recall the simple
function from Example 1-2:
(defn average [numbers] (/ (apply + numbers) (count numbers)))
This isn't just a bunch of text that is somehow transformed into a
function definition through the operation of a black box; this is a list
data structure that contains four values: the symbol
defn, the symbol
average, a vector data structure containing the
numbers, and another list that
comprises the function's body. Evaluating that list data structure is what
defines the function.
[6] Clojure is by no means the only homoiconic language, nor is homoiconicity a new concept. Other homoiconic languages include all other Lisps, all sorts of machine language (and therefore arguably Assembly language as well), Postscript, XSLT and XQuery, Prolog, R, Factor, Io, and more.
[7] The natural language parse tree was mostly lifted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parse_tree.

Whether you wish to admit it or not, every one of us man-loving ladies has a girl crush. Some are obsessed with Cara Delevingne, others fancy the pants off Mila Kunis and even Beyonce has an abundance of fans who would kill for her body, but I for one, think Michelle Kegan is the epitome of perfection. Let me explain why.
For one, she is naturally beautiful with a tanned complexion, long dark locks and a lovely set of teeth. Qualities that any girl is bound to envy. What I find fascinating about Michelle Keegan, which sounds slightly silly, is that she looks completely normal, pretty, but normal, in Corrie, but transforms into something else off screen and completely transcends the definition of sexy.
She has a body to die for. Some people work their socks off to be as slim and toned as she is, but Michelle is certainly blessed with the assets she has. She may well have worked for it too, and if she has, she's done a bloody god job. From what I've seen, and read, she doesn't come across as stuck up or arrogant in the slightest, because those traits, are what can change someone from beautiful to ugly in a matter of minutes.
It's time to embrace British beauty and take our hats off to those who add elegance and class to their appearance while being tasteful of what they choose to do. None of that crude attention seeking on screen drivel from the likes of Katie Price or Jodie Marsh, who should never, ever, be considered as role models or idols.
Wear a smile.
